Introduction

The 2015 season structure for the Puget Sound commercial salmon season was defined during Pacific Fisheries Management Council process and North of Falcon (PFMC/NoF) public meetings. The following rules and regulations are a result of discussions involving state, tribal and federal fisheries management agencies; representatives of the commercial and recreational industries; and other interested parties. This pamphlet summarizes the agreed to schedules and rules for non-treaty Puget Sound commercial salmon fisheries in 2015. The fishing schedule is similar to recent years and includes opportunity to harvest pink salmon in Puget Sound.
